Characters: Namine, Riku
Content: After making up, Namine and Riku go on a date to celebrate Valentine's Day and White Day a little late.
Location: The Launch Deck and outside the ship
Time of Day: Evening
Warnings: Fluff, Mush, and Cuteness

As promised, Riku had slipped a picture under Namine's door with details. It showed himself waiting on the launch deck next to a subpod. Beside him sat a cooler and a couple art supplies, along with a clock that read "7:15." Namine was in the foreground facing the subpod, holding a bag with a wide variety of art supplies sticking out. Outside a window on the deck the sun could be seen setting on the Earth.

Of course, it wasn't quite setting yet. In orbit, sunrises and sunsets were pretty frequent, but he'd calculated out a good time of the evening to catch a sunset. The cooler and a picnic basket were already on board, too. He'd honestly thought about trying to use the food synthesizer to cook something more romantic, but he honestly had no idea what would be, let alone what she'd like to eat. Something simpler seemed like a smarter and safer idea.

He'd hoped that it was clear in the picture for her to bring her art supplies, though often their time spent together involved art or craft in some form. Or rather, Namine making art and Riku attempting to. He'd even set up a telescope next to Namine's seat so she could look out at the stars if she wanted to draw those. And luckily the seat arrangement was such that they could sit together. He'd already lifted the arm rests and stuffed some blankets between the seats to fill the gap between the pilot and copilot chairs. Riku planned to be the one driving, as it were.

For the moment, Riku sat on the steps into the subpod and waited. He propped his guitar on his knee and started to play, waiting for Namine to come. It was a little early still.

Wait, are you supposed to dress up for big dates?

Given the personality of Sora's mom, she'd be more than happy to have a step-daughter. Dating an adopted-sister of his best friend might be interesting to deal with, if his mom decided to outright adopt her, but the same might go if the mayor adopted her, too. It'd work itself out, though, and regardless of where she was she would be loved. By her new family. By her friends. And by Riku, who'd be looking forward to showing her the most beautiful things of all the worlds he visited. He wanted to inspire her.

"I'm pretty sure you would. Even if you didn't, you'd try again until it was." He still kept his hand near her face as she took it. It was kind of the best of both worlds that way. He turned his face slightly to kiss the crown of her head, enjoying the softness of her hair.

Nope, it wasn't a fluke. Giving her a kiss still felt really good.

From what Namine had seen of Sora's memories, all the people of Destiny Islands were welcoming. There were more likely to be arguments over who took her in because everyone wanted to than otherwise. There was no doubt she'd be cared for. Which was a nice problem to have, but that didn't change the fact that it would be an adjustment. At least she'd have Riku and the others there. She'd look forward to seeing anything he'd show her. Once she got her feet under her, though, she'd have to start trying to provide some ideas.

"'If at first you don't succeed...', right?" It was true, she would keep trying until she was satisfied with how a project looked. She smiled when he kissed her, then shifted to lean against him a little more comfortably, content to quietly watch the lights for a while.

At least once that time came, they'd have all the time in the world for them to come up with ideas. Time was such a fickle thing, but right now at least, like when they met again, they'd have all the time in the world. Once the days stretched forever back at home, trapping Riku with a sense that he was missing the meaning in his life. Since he'd learned how to protect what was important. He also had discovered something very important along the way. Now she was sitting next to him, skin gently bathed in the dim light of the control panel.

"That's my girl."

When she shifted, he did as well, pulling his arms around her and leaning back and over slightly so she could lean on his chest. It made him feel warm all over, and for a moment he closed his eyes, ignoring the lights below to simply take in the sensation of being so close. His chest rose with a breath before a happy sigh came out through his nose. Riku opened his eyes to see the light, and then looked back down to her again. He could feel his heart beat loudly in his chest.

He hoped that Namine could too.

I guess we need to start wrapping this up, huh?

Yeah. ;_;

It's been fun, though. ;.;
